About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

The boys in Blue Öyster Cult had it down right when they said Don't Fear the Reaper. At least where Dave's Carolina Reaper slider is concerned. I thought heat had finally met its match when I read a news story saying Dave's made customers sign a liability waiver when ordering a sandwich or chicken tender including Carolina Reaper peppers. "You acknowledge that eating the REAPER can cause you harm, including, but not limited to, bodily injury, property damage, emotional distress, or even death," the waiver reads, according ... read more

Excellent food, excellent staff. Amazingly clean restaurant. It was spotless and there were staff cleaning the already spotless place. But the service is where they shined. Either I ordered the wrong meal or the lady heard me wrong, but they only charged me for a slider instead of a tender and a slider. I wasn't paying attention so didn't notice it. When I went to pick up the order, I was confused. So I asked, "Oh, did I not pay for the larger meal?" The lady confirmed I'd not. However the manager was having none of ... read more

This place is a solid 3.5. The chicken looks like it is hand breaded. It is super moist. The buns on the sandwich was pretty awesome also. Soft. Seemed like a potato bread. I could be wrong. . I got the medium heat and honestly, there wasn't any heat at all. Maybe go another level if you want to taste some spice. The fries I got extra crispy. They were good. Seasoned well. Their fry sauce was basic. Wish it had some sort of kick to it. The pickles had a great crunch. The other order was supposed to come with cheese fries, I ... read more

Dave's.....did we just become best friends? You know me. Somehow, someway, you have been watching me since high school all those decades ago and you know me. Okay folks, food is flipping delicious. Let's just get that out of the way. Doesn't matter what you get it's gunna be bangin. Bit of info, the medium was...well very medium and is a good choice for those who are heat sensitive. Hot was not overpowering but could start to feel a little bit, really I would have gone up to very hot now knowing what I know. Cheese fry's o... read more

We are here a few weeks ago and I totally forgot to write a review. First and foremost very clean location with lots of helpful employees. You do order then sit down. We did a Yelp check in and they gave us a free milkshake which was awesome because we were able to try their milkshakes and definitely that was 10/10. In regards to the food, it's good chicken, nothing out of this world. I love that you have the option to choose your seasoning to it (from mild to spicy). We tried one with no seasoning at all (for my little o... read more

Visited DOC on 12/3/22, which just happened to be their opening day as well. The drive thru lines were insanely long, but that is to be expected! We decided to just go ahead and park and just go inside for our order. As we walked in, we were impressed with how cool the vibe was! I love the entire aesthetic! Super fun and modern. Lines inside were a bit long, but again, expected. What I did not expect was how clean everything was! They had multiple employees going around cleaning up tables and restocking the different sa... read more
